Castell d’Encus, Costers del Segre, Talarn, Catalunya

Castell d’Encus is a very exciting project from Raül Bobet, following his time with Torres. In 2001, whilst searching for land in the foothills of the Catalan Pyrenées, Raül discovered a stunning estate at almost 1,000m above sea level dating back to the 12th century. Farming organically, he chose to plant 23 hectares of of the classic grapes varieties. Inspired by his discovery of 9 medieval rock fermenters in the vineyards, Raül restored them back into working order and now ferments several wines in them, embedded in the rocky hillsides. The results are amazing: high natural acidity, superb length and mouth feel, with both reds and whites receiving a great deal of critical praise.

The deep ruby Costers del Segre 'Acusp' Castell d’Encus has well-defined aromas of red berries, jasmine and an underlying note of earth, game and white pepper. Superbly elegant on the palate, with a crisp acidity and fine grained tannins, culminating with a long, complex finish.

Grapes: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot
